The New Apartment part 3
The day of Mary and David's arrival finally arrived, and I was nervous, I'm not sure why, I guess I was scared they might discover I was gay and everything would end.
I asked Ben what time he would be home, "I have afternoon lectures so I guess it will be about four thirty" he said. I breathed a sigh of relief as it would give allowance in case his parent's journey took longer than expected.
It so happened they had an easy run and arrived about two. I went downstairs to meet them and directed them into the underground car park and then into the lift.
Once we were in the lounge his Mother turned to me and said "No wonder Ben loves living here, that view is worth the rent"
"Does he really love living here?" I asked.
"Of course he does, each time he phones he is full of it" said Mary. "He can't stop telling us how lucky he was to move in with you" said David.
I offered them some food but they said they would rather wait until we had a meal. I didn't ask, out of respect for Ben, but his folks were very keen on telling me things about him. One fact disclosed by Mary surprised me, "I don't think we will ever be grandparents" she said, "I'm afraid our son is a glutton for study, I don't think he will ever have a girlfriend, the girls he has taken out very soon drifted away when they realised how serious he was"
About four fifteen I started to prepare our meal while continuing to talk and about tem minutes later I suggested they should stay in their room until Ben got home, so that we could surprise him.
Almost on the dot of four thirty Ben came in, and after greeting me said, "I see you have the table laid for four"
"Sorry I forgot to tell you, we will be having two guests, I think you have time to shower" I told him. Another thing I liked about my lodger is that he is scrupulously clean, he would never dream of going a day without a shower.
As soon as I heard the shower start I asked Mary and David to come out and sit in the lounge. In less than ten minutes I heard Ben open his bedroom door and I called out to him, "Ben could you offer our guests some drinks?"
"Yes of course" he replied, then five seconds later a surprised voice, "Mum, Dad, what are you doing here?"
"Visiting our son, is that OK?" asked Mary, before kissing Ben who then hugged his father. Of course I saw all this due to the open plan of the lounge/dining room/kitchen.
Ben gave them their drinks, a sherry for his Mum and a beer for his Dad then the story came out
Ben turned to me saying, "I can't believe you have kept this a secret, I will have to watch you"
"Ben" said his Mum, "Mind your manners, don't speak to Mr. Mason like that"
"Please don't worry" I said, "I am Dick, I have asked Ben to call me that, of course I don't know what he calls me when I'm out of earshot"
"Ah, that's a secret" said Ben with a laugh.
"Ben we didn't bring you up like that" exclaimed his Mum.
"Let them be Mary, can't you see they are joking, it is nice that our boy has found a home that is pleasant and relaxed" said David.
Mary soon relaxed as we ate our meal and once it was finished I said, "Will you excuse me while I take a shower and wash off the cooking smells, Ben why don't you show your folks your room". I discovered later that they could hardly believe that he had his own bathroom plus TV and phone.
When I returned I asked David if he would like another drink, and he said, "I don't think I better have any more"
"You know you like a whisky Dad, Dick has lovely malt"
"That is right out of line young man" said his Mum, tightening up again. She was finding it difficult to accept the way we lived.
"It's quite alright Mary; Ben knows that I would want him to offer the drinks, of course if he started giving my prize malt to his student friends I would have something to say. We haven't fallen out yet, and I don't think we will but he isn't too big to be put over my knee"
"You what?" exclaimed Ben, then realised I was laughing and soon joined me followed by his Dad, Mary still found it difficult.
I allowed the family to talk together, only speaking when I was drawn into the conversation, and in no time at all it was time for bed.
Before we said goodnight Ben said, "Dad, you are bound to be the first awake in the morning, the kettle is there, the mugs are on the tree and the teabags right next to them, get yourself a tea and take one into Mum.
Mary was just about to reprimand Ben when she caught a look from her husband, nothing was said.
The next morning after breakfast I said to Ben, "Why don't you show your folks around the Uni and town, be back by midday and I will have a cold lunch ready" While the others weren't looking, I gave Ben my car keys.
When they got downstairs to the parking area, (Ben related this to me later) David was just going to open his car, a rather old but well kept Ford, when Ben said, "We'll use this one Dad" and opened the door of my BMW.
Once again Mary started about using Mr Mason's car, but David quickly stopped her and said, "Get into the car Mother"
The rest of the weekend passed pretty well but I don't think Mary would ever accept the fact that Ben and I were more like friends than landlord and lodger.
Mary and David left just after lunch on Sunday and before leaving I think Mary had melted a little as she said, "I can't thank you enough for looking after Ben, now we see why he is so happy. Please look after him and if he steps out of line put him across your knee"
Once we were on our own and the dishes had been dealt with Ben went straight back to work, although to him it wasn't work, he really enjoyed it, I guess I was inclined to agree with Mary that she wouldn't be a grandmother, although whether he was gay or not I wasn't sure.
It was the early evening before Ben came out to join me and he made a sandwich and coffee for us both and we settled together on the couch to watch a movie.
When the movie finished we chatted for a while before he said, "Would you really put me across your knee?"
"Just try me and see" I replied.
With that he started to poke and then tickle me. I let him go on for a few minutes before I grabbed him and put him face down across my knee.
I didn't do anything so he said "Chicken"
With that I pulled down his shorts and slapped him several times across his smooth rosy cheeks. He was still smiling, in fact it was more of a grin.
"You enjoyed that didn't you" I stated.
"I guess I did, it's the first time I have ever been spanked"
"Do you mean your parents never spanked you" I asked him.
"I suppose I never did anything really bad, and normally just a couple of words from Dad and being sent to my room was enough"
Ben slid to the floor and knelt in front of me as he said, "You told me a lot about your travels and people you met and girls you kissed"
I nodded.
"Did you ever kiss a man?" was the next question.
To say I was surprised was an understatement; Ben had never done anything to make me think he was gay.
"Yeah, a few times" I replied.
Ben paused before he spoke and then said, "Would you kiss me?"
"Do you really mean that?" I asked. Ben nodded.
I leaned forward and taking his head in my hands I placed my lips on his, he made no attempt to pull away and it was two or three minutes before we parted.
"Ben's eyes were sparkling and I noticed his shorts were tented. I ran my index finger over the outline of his dick in his cotton shorts. "One part of you seemed to enjoy that kiss" I said.
Ben just smiled.
"I think it's time for bed" I said, and Ben's face fell.
I smiled at him and said, "I didn't say which bed, you can share my bed if you want to"
I stood up leaving him kneeling there, and went to my bedroom leaving the door open.
When I came out of the bathroom Ben was standing beside my bed still dressed, I was naked. "You can't wear those things in my bed, you have to be naked" I said. I walked over to the bed and turned down the cover then turned round. It was the first time I had ever seen Ben nude, and I wasn't disappointed. He had a lovely figure and standing out from his groin was a very hard cock, he was no longer than me but much thicker and nestling below it were two quite large balls.
I slipped into the bed and he followed me.
